Bringing Hip Hop to Broadway
It was probably about a year ago that someone showed me a medley of a full Beyoncé album jammed into something like a minute, by a duo called Superfruit. Pretty much all their videos had a massive amount of views on YouTube and I was very quickly led to another group the guys were members of, Pentatonix, who also scored well on YouTube.
At that time, neither one of the groups were familiar to me. The sheer amount of views and subscribers were dazzling and their work was up to par. Enough to spark a serious interest in them, even leading up to me seeing Pentatonix live at one their concerts this year in Amsterdam.
So, even though I’ve continued to keep an eye on Pentatonix, I actually don’t keep up with the Superfruit YouTube channel. And that’s a shame, because the guys get pretty original on some well-known material.
